about this blog

Hello lovelies.  I wanted to use this post as an opportunity to share why i started this blog.  in part it was because i wanted to enter the shabby apple contest and i needed a blog to do it. 

But...then i began thinking about keeping the blog to share with people who may have shared a similar experience.  i named this blog A Budding Beauty not as an expression of vanity, but because i was one of what i believe to be many who were surrounded by people who were both selfish and insecure and used me to make themselves feel better.  as a result i never really fully came into myself.  Until recently that is.  Once you stand up to and then remove yourself from those who keep you down so much more is possible (yes, i know that sounds corny, but believe me it does happen).

I am a late bloomer, and this is the guidebook i am writing for myself.

   BE FEARLESS / DON'T LET FEAR STOP YOU

The most important of all guidelines, most anything you can learn about life fear and fearlessness are usually at the root.  Insecure people will do all they can to make you afraid, they will teach you to be afraid of your own voice.  Don't let them. 

FEARLESSNESS will give you the best experiences of you life.

More on this later :)
